Kroger Specialty Infusion is Now Dispensing Cuvitru
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company has selected Kroger Specialty Infusion to dispense Cuvitru to treat patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI) in people 2 years and older.
Kroger Specialty Infusion is proud to announce it is now dispensing Cuvitru, a subcutaneous treatment for patients with primary immunodeficiency (PI) in people 2 years and older.
Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PI) are a group of more than 400 rare, chronic disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or functions improperly. Some affect a single part of the immune system; others may affect one or more components of the system.
While the diseases may differ, they all share one common feature: each result from a defect in one of the functions of the body's normal immune system. Because one of the most important functions of the normal immune system is to protect us against infection, patients with PI commonly have an increased susceptibility to infection.
CUVITRU [Immune Globulin Subcutaneous (Human)] 20% provides reliable infection protection and consistent Ig levels, which helps the body fight infections due to PI. Cuvitru is made from human plasma donated by healthy people. This replaces antibodies that are not working properly or are missing from the body to help the body protect against infection.
Ryan McGrath, Vice President of Sales for Kroger Specialty Infusion, shared his excitement on the news of dispensing Cuvitru. "Kroger Specialty Infusion is proud to serve, and support, the PI community. Our ability to provide a full portfolio of branded options for each patient is a differentiator in today's marketplace. Being selected to offer Cuvitru celebrates an enhancement of Kroger Health's commitment to the mission of helping people live healthier lives."
In every instance at Kroger Specialty Infusion, you can expect dedicated Ig clinical teams, access to limited distribution medications, simple patient enrollment, experts in complex insurance management, comprehensive financial services, and personalized patient care support.
